Sad but true.
The trouble is we all knew this would happen weeks ago.
What happens to us is oh so predictable..
We are about 20yrs worth of trophies away from being a better prospect than Utd.....and in that time, they would have to win fuck all.
Its not just money Im afraid.
A lucky PL Title does'nt exist.
On the contrary, Liverpool have just proven that it could have been us without the bullshit that surrounds this club......and more importantly, still could be.
IF we get this appointment right.
Totally agree..
This is why I was getting so excited about the prospect of a Manager of LVGs ilk.
A manager who could knock this club into shape, a manager every single player would have respect for.
There would be no silly little Tweets, there would be no moaning, under performing players would be dropped, but above all..
NO FUCKING HIGH LINE DEFENDING..
:adelol:
Mate, if you brought in Ferguson at his peak you'd still find Spurs fans who could whinge about it.
It's Levy's fault if LvG goes to United?
I disagree Moyes was judges against AF and he failed, many united fans now are expecting the next manager to atleast get united champions league next season and I'm sure the owners will to. The next manager will be judged against Moyes now. AF mistake in chosing Moyes has shown the owners his human and shown the world that united need a rebuild.
Weirdly enuf united fans are more realistic then we are about their teams situation, they know that their squad has been feeding of AF for years, and they know that without him their squad is average.
"united fans are more realistic then we are" thats easy when you are being successful. lets see how realistic they are now and next season?
Moyes will soon be forgotten-a blip, an error of misjudgement.
I agree, AF juggled an average squad to high levels (winning the PL/CL), not just the PL top 4. IMO, it's not that difficult as the scum show every season. AF still encouraged top PL players to play for him.
Where I disagree, AF took charge in 1986, he will be the yard stick all predecessors will be judged against (anyone aged 35+'ish have only ever known AF). CL football is expected, the minimum achievement in a season for a club as Utd, regardless who is in charge. It will be the next level of football ,(CL) all coaches will be judged with, at Utd.
Utd have come into the real world of football, wanting instant success. What if LVG does not work, do they sack him and get in another high profile coach? This could be the rocky road for Utd. They have tasted the honey.
If he had the opportunity to get him to sign a pre-contracual agreement, yes. If not, no. What i meant was more the previous decisions.
Yeh but be realistic what team have had as few injuries as Liverpool this season, hardly any of there top players out for most of the season, that would never happen to us. Liverpool have a good manager, great first 11, few injuries and no European football, perfect combination, they also keep their best players.
That's not what you said about City's 'goal-difference' one
Unfortunatly yes, why do so many Spurs fans want a nice guy as manager, I couldn't care less. We moan about Redknapp and Sherwood's ego and AVB's mubbling and their media apperances but Fergie, Mourinho and LvG are 10 times worse, they are complete arseholes. Fergie would be seen as man who 'embrasses' Spurs with what he says in the press and there would be a clamer to get rid of him.
My only reason for wanting a new manager is that Tim is inexperienced, couldn't care less if he doesn't have a suit or what shit he says in front of cameras, its the football on the pitch that counts.
I didnt say it was luck. What I said was that spending over a billion quid to win one title on GD, one FA Cup and one Carling cup over 5yrs is underachievement.
People say they were a one man team, yet when Suarez was out at the start of the season until October, they still took 13pts from the first 18 available.
Sturridge has also been out with injuries.
You can bemoan "bad luck" with injuries......but we just spent 110M deepening our squad strength....supposedly.
And the players take no responsibility for the shit that they dished up??
Yep and bloody half of them are injured, what is with us and injuries, not just this season but the past 20, do we just have a shit medical team, we are always at the top or near the top of the injury list in the Prem.
